Vintage Toys & Collectibles

There's nothing like revisiting toys from your youth (or your grandparents' youth) to bring on the waves of nostalgia. Indulge your memories at the booths of Salamanca & Ontario Mall Antiques' 9 toys and collectibles vendors. Items in our collections include American tin banks, vintage tin cars, trucks and trolleys, and toys from abroad, such as a tin pan rattle from Germany.

Diane Devolder

Tell us about yourself:

In 1969 Diane was helping her husband’s sick aunt sell her antiques. She brought the items to the Fairport Rotary Antique Show – and has been hooked on antiques ever since! Antiques has been in the bloodline – her grandmother was an antiquer before the Depression Era. Diane previously owned The Owl In the Attic in Fairport 1970-1973.

Paul Kleinstuber

Tell us about yourself:

Paul has been in the antique business since 1960. He successfully ran his family business of three shops in the Poconos for 35 years. As his “side” business Paul worked for 41 years at Xerox (talk about loyalty!) and finished his career as a Corporate Manager in Research. While at Xerox Paul worked on the design team that produced the 914 copier in 1959 – the world’s first automatic plain paper copier.
